Perform the merge function ( D:\My Documents\My Virtual machines\ubuntu\ installation path for the VM）

Vmware-vdiskmanager-r < original file path (with file name) >-T 0 < merged file path (with file name) >

Perform split function:vmware-vdiskmanager-r < original file path (with file name) >-T 1 < file path after partition (with file name) >
